Step 5 – Choose the “Yes, refresh web page automatically” option. This
ensures that your viz updates live from the source (Public or Server) each time
you launch the PowerPoint presentation. Click Next.

Step 6 – Choose the size and position of the viz in the slide. I prefer 100%
so that the viz is as big as possible, but the default is 90%. Click Next.

Step 7 – Click Finish

You should receive the following message if you successfully embedded the web
page.

Step 8 – Launch the presentation

Some notes and observations:

The viz might be a bit slower to load than when viewed in Public or Server.
This viz took about 10 seconds to load.

It can be tricky to get the mouse pointer to show up. You’ll have to play
around with it to see what I mean.

I can get this to work only if I log in to the Tableau server when the first viz appears. Is there a way to specify login credentials in the URL? I will be deploying thin clients in my manufacturing area with metrics for the specific workcenters.

I had trouble getting this to work with PowerPoint 2013. I had to use information on this page to get it to work: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2793374

Now that I have it working, it asks me to log in to Server every time I run this, and it forgets by login credentials by the next slide. This is something that needs to be overcome if I am to use this.

Hi Andy. I really appreciate for sharing your know-how. And.. I have a question. I tried Live-Web and I also successed in embedding tableau dashboard in Powerpoint. But I have no idea how to print out Powerpoint in the state of my tableau dashboard is emdded. Whenever i tried to print out, the place where i embedding tableau is just blank. Can you help me about this problem?

Hi Andy, what if I created my dashboard with Tableau desktop. I want to embed an interactive dashboard, i.e. show all the details of certain data points, in my ppt. Bc it is a local file, I couldn't generate a URL for it. How would export the dashboard not as image, but in an interactive form ?Thanks a lot

Hello Andy, I was able to successfully embed the Tableau dashboard into ppt.But, the filters that are present in the dashboard are not seen in ppt.Can you please guide on what might be the reason for this.
